The Ghusl Room
MFS now has a new Ghusl facility adjacent to the Kuraby Mosque, which includes the Ghusl room, cold room, storeroom and hearse parking all under on roof.
Our office is still located within the Musjid.
This page will detail the essential requirements for a GHUSL room at any facility.
It will assist a regional centre to establish a Ghusl room in your town insha-Allah.
The GHUSL Room is usually a designated area at the local Islamic centre or mosque or if this is not available you may make arrangements with the local Funeral Director to use their facility. MFS is a member of QFDA and we would be happy to establish this relationship with one of our funeral director colleagues in the regional area on your organisation's behalf.
GHUSL Room Equipment and minimum suggested requirements:
NB: if you are a regional Islamic centre, MFS will supply an initial set male and a female pre-packed kaffans free of charge. Kindly contact Dr Mohammed Iqbal Sultan or Yussuf Chothia.
You may then purchase further kaffans as required for $80 per set.
This may be a commercially available coffin with handles to lift and carry and transport the deceased OR as is the case in many communities is a custom made aluminium tray with handles and a cage like lid. This is covered with a cloth or velvet cover. The latter is used by MFS.
